So, probably an office somewhere that the local management put it out, but not corporate....quite possible.

Yeah, that's also how you lose a franchise license.
As they should.
I sure wish the rioters / protesters / looters in the large AMERICAN cities would show proper recourse towards the Websters dictionary definition of Apathy and not some made up version: """"" Apathy is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, or concern about something. It is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation, or passion. ... The apathetic may lack a sense of purpose, worth, or meaning in their life. """" ~~~~> AND JUST STAY AT HOME.

Article from the Chicago Tribune. Found it a bit funny that the Mayor of Chicago is using the police to protect her block and home from the protestors she previously cheered.
Citing threats, Mayor Lori Lightfoot defends ban on protesters on her block: ‘I have a right to make sure that my home is secure’

Definition and prime example of what happens with socialism/communism. Those with power take all.
How does this statement make any sense? This specific action was done in a democratic nation.
Watch, I can do the same thing.

Yeah, I don't know if it's an ideological thing, or just whoever is holding the office and enjoying the hypocrisy of the double-standard....

Yep! Much like the Soviet politburo who drove fancy cars and ate fancy feasts while the peasants starved. Reeks of, "rules for thee, but not for me".
I'm glad people are waking up to the hypocrisy of those who kindled this wave of Marxist unrest.

Not really. She tied the hands of her police department and did not allow them to disperse crowds and protect businesses and residences. She is no better than the private citizens that elected her. Then add to the fact that the Cook County DA of Jussie Fake Hate Crime Smollett fame is dropping charges on all rioters the morning after they've been arrested and releasing them.
Do I think that the Mayor should have a detachment making sure she's safe during this period? Sure. But assigning dozens of officers to her residence is hypocritical when private citizens in Chicago had both their lives and livelihoods threatened. Let your cops do their jobs.
The mayor could call the DA and express displeasure with her catch and release program.
The Machine runs that county, and the Machine can find a new DA.

Like most elected positions of different governments (city vs county) The DA could care less what the Mayor says...and vice versa.
You have no idea how Cook County runs.

True...I lack the local knowledge....but they are two separate entities....we have had the same issues with the Dallas County DA and the municipalities involved in the county.
But, can you provide some basic understanding from an outsiders view? Seriously

Check out The Outfit by Gus Russo. It is about the Chicago mafia, but covers Chicago politics as it relates to the mob and how it is all intertwined.

Well fuck.
did you boys really shoot him in the back?

I watched the video. Hard to tell exactly what was going on, but he wasn't "walking away," as the headline claims. He was armed, unresponsive to commands, no effect from less-lethal employment, and he was entering an occupied gas station with people going in and out. IMO this was probably a good shoot.
The Daily (now Obama Political Machine) runs the city, and the city runs the county.
The DA didn't get the job without the local crime, err, party boss's approval.
Likewise the mayor could call the boss up and pass the word that they need to start prosecuting some of their supporters.
I think the Democrats have lost control of these people and inadvertently "released the Krackin"
Michele O may think the riots end with a Biden Victory, I don't. Not without a heavy crackdown.
So, in Portland yesterday, government officials and buildings were warned that there was a ‘credible threat of a VBIED possibly being used against federal buildings’.
What in the literal fuck. Over.
All federal buildings close in Portland amid threat
ETA- Here’s an example of (probably) highly effective tactics to quell this sort of thing.

Brother, if anything I'm surprised it has taken this long for that stuff to occur. We're fast approaching 100 days of unrest in Portland, the City is not allowing their law enforcement to do their job, the DA drops charges every morning, and the State is not doing anything either. This could have been whittled down if through pure attrition by holding all of the people were arrested for serious crimes and prosecuting them. There has been an abdication of sense and responsibility in Portland and Salem. The Black Bloc continues to evolve their TTPs on a daily basis. I truly have to wonder how the local elections will turn out with the Black Bloc going into neighborhoods and harassing people.
Last night PPB Precinct North was attacked.
In neighborhoods-not the only video, there's plenty out there.
These are not protests, these are organized riots and have been since the beginning. The Black Bloc infrastructure specifically in Oregon and Portland is significant. In 2017 the mayor allowed an "Autonomous Zone" to exist for five months.
